Nobody has time for nuance, it's convenient to put everyone else into boxes

I think self identifying as something seems to hold a lot of attraction,
because it neatly absolves people for their personal behaviour and decisions by claiming it's caused by some dubious self diagnosed condition. Maybe someone has some learning difficulty like ASD that makes interaction dfficult. But maybe someone never bother to cultivate a personality, lacks empathy or interest in other people or is cruel, and when they socialised they find nobody likes them, so they stop going out and start claiming, "oh I must be an introvert" because it makes them feel better, it's just their nature. And if you think that's a rant, don't get me started on kids getting diagnosed with ADHD
